Many thanks ORAC, the crew estimated the load as 11.7 tonnes. Somewhere there is a shot of the Chinook fuselage showing the skin distortion once the load was off the ground.

Found out old 303 OC Mike Clulow passed away not too long ago. Lovely chap. RIP Mike. |
Of interest, the Chinook recently doing the Gibraltar Rock radar lift in this article, ZA680, was the same airframe as a Mk1 that did the Cape Orford to Mt Alice lift nearly 38 years ago. I spent many a flying hour building the Mt Alice site as part of OP TANTARA.
